I think it will be inspirational to hear success stories from time to time, especially from warriors who have made it.

Have you ever gave your all - time, effort, money - only to receive a paltry sum in return? Did you quit your job and get people - some closest to you - throwing discouraging words your way? Have you ever felt like throwing in the towel?

What keeps you going?

What keeps your fire burning despite the harshest winds?

Well I got some discouragements from my family members from time to time but they stopped when my first check arrived.

It wasn't a big sum but a few hundred dollars was good enough to get me motivated and move on with this business. I started blogging and learning from those who have succeeded and I have seen my own blog grow quite a bit. You start to gain readership, make friends and get your name into the community. People start buying ads from you... Thats where you get the strength to move on!

Surprisingly I've never received any discouragement from anyone. I'm lucky that my family and friends were all very supportive. They believed in me and I believed in myself.

I give up my job before because I see opportunities online. When Paypal decide to include my country to accept payment it become a big factor to really put my effort to do business alone. Also, I'm a family man and I need to support my family. My family is my source of courage to deal with up and down economy.

I really believe in my self that I can do it that is why I still stand whatever problems that comes. With the support of my wife and believe in me when I started, I started to come up with great ideas. Literally focus on my own problem and cope it gives me another business opportunity. Even there are big job opportunities, I still rejected them and focus on thinking strategies to build my online business. Sometimes life tease you that being emplyed means monthly income but the truth is, it's just a temporary solution to monthly expenses. I'm also fortunate that I know programming and some technical stuff plus partial business management and sales that is why I know how to handle business problems. I just don't give up.

well we have faced alot of problems in my life, but my string believe in myself keep me going

it encourage me to work and work and im sure someday i will get success

ryda

The quote "Believe in yourself" keeps ringing in the replies (Ross Dalangin, jn.rounak). It is difficult to believe when others don't, but perhaps that is an obstacle everyone must go through to achieve success.

But I have to agree with Lian Wei, zxlewi and craftscn the material boost can keep one's hopes aflutter.

Lucky is the one, in this case Li Weng, for having positive energy all around him.

Lol Ryda are you from Singapore? If so, the point of view would be so different.

What keeps me going is the feedback I get from clients. I admit I get the defeatist attitude from my family, but my clients love me and keep coming back, so theyre the ones that make me get back in the studio everyday and keep coming up with things.

A bit of a moment here for me... but what keeps me going is not wanting to go back to how things were when I was a kid. There was TONS of negativity, anxiety, depression, violance, ignorance... took me years of working very hard at shutting off the "negative tape" in my head, but I did it and I know life can be beautiful, so I keep going!

Great Question. I think the most prominent thing that keeps me going is my faith. I do believe that there is a force that's all powerful and all knowing that if we are tuned in will guide our activities. I also believe that the pictures we are creating on the inside will determine what shows up on the outside. So I have choosen to select the internal pictures as my source of reference. Actually This is my real world.

The most important thing which keeps me going is me. For one reason or another I haven't had much support from other people.

However I've always believed in what I'm doing and that's the most important thing for me. Even if the whole World disagreed with me I'd keep striving on because I know what I'm doing is a good thing. Many people are ignorant. Many people are jealous. Many people won't listen to you because of stereotypes. Many people will hear one thing and assume something completely false.

But at the end of the day, if you know who you are and what you're all about, and if what you're doing is something more important than yourself, you can take all that in your stride and leave something great behind before you die.

What keeps me going is the feeling that I'm so close to breaking through that if I give up now I would be throwing everything away. They say most people give up when they are right around the corner from success. I guess you could call it blind faith and knowing that if you do something long enough you begin to make your own good luck!

Daniel Beazley

Like everyone else said, by believing in my self. No one thought I could do what I have achieved, but my motivation was proving them wrong and I did just that. Now in proving to them that I could do it, they now support me

It was no easy ride though, took a lot of time and hard work.

By sticking to what I wanted I achieved it, eventually.

Word of advise: never give up never surrender.

Money. Seeing it in my bank account. Feeling it in my hand. Money = security. I sleep with a nice smile when I am secure.

jayden.fellze

I don't wanna sound pompous but discouraging words or demoralizing attitude doesn't effect me in my professional life. I think except for the people who are really close to you, other people are not worth paying attention to as far as motivation is concerned. I have found that more than half of the time people react on the basis of the unresolved emotions in their heart like jealousy, insecurity or a bad experience they had in the past.

At the end of the day, every person is different and we should make our own path. But if you have people who depend on you for financial support, then I think their opinion should matter too.

Coffee. Sometimes drugs.

Oh yeah...also the fact that I know I HAVE TO keep going. At my age, the minute you stop is the beginning of the end. We have to do the best we can and make the most of this life.

Never stop learning. Never stop moving.

Vincelog

It is the visualization of my success that keeps my passion burning and keep on going. People can be throwing discouragements saying that I can't achieve this or that, but deep down I know success is waiting for me and all I need to do is to take one step at a time and do my best and reach for it.

the universe works in mysterious ways, the bigger your goal the harder you will be tested. if what you want is to become something much greater than most people ever expected from you, than you will get there only after you have been tested by them all.

my greatest success has only come after the greatest test of my will.

don't give up. and remember you can only grow once you get out of your comfort zone.

MaryK

Yes, my partner when I decided, after being sacked from a job I really disliked, was extremely antagonistic about my starting in IM. In fact, he went so far as to not speak to me for days, when he did speak it wasn't pleasant (cannot print what he would say *censored* plus too negative to want to go into.

Friends where not overally supportive either, though some were 'well meaning' but felt it was just the 'lucky' chosen few, who made it in IM.

I followed my dream, shut my ears, literally with headphones at times, to my partners nastiness and kept working, focused and allowed nothing to stop me or stand in my way.

I agree with the Rich Villian, the Universe is mysterious, my goal is very big and I have been well and truly tested in all areas. Both personally and on the technical side of IM. But I have faced all the challenges, stayed positive and made it through a stronger and more determined person.

I love what I do and I think that is the 'secret' to achieving success. Being able to stay on course no matter what. I would say to anyone 'follow your passion' that will keep you on course.

For me it would be for my children. I keep on striving hard to be a better father to my 3 little sweet angels. It gets frustrating at times, but once I see my children happy with what I have provided them - the hardships and frustrations just fades away

Passion Perfumuri

There are different things to keep you going and for me it's bit complicated. I watched movie "The Secret" and truly believe each and every word of it. I shared the ideas expressed in the movie with all arround me. I keep on striving hard to be a better result orinted by following the secrets in the movie. It gets frustrating at times, but once I see my goals met, the hardships and frustrations remains no where...

This stuff works. Everyday someone is bursting through the bubble of mediocrity to financial freedom. Whenever I start to get frustrated or disappointed with my results, something positive always seems to happen, as if to provide an indicator of what could be if I don't quit.

It may come in the form of an unexpected sale or comment on any one of my blogs. Sometimes it may come from an unexpected email correspondence or an ebook that I've decided to read for the third or fourth time, but it always comes.

The number one motivating factor is to take care of my family. Fighting for table scraps in the corporate world is not living, especially when it can all be taken away from you in an instant. I don't mean to sound conceited or bragadocious, but I know I can do this and when my business takes a step forward, that's all the proof I need.

If you know you can do this, then I know you can do this. So just keep trucking, cause that's all it takes. A little bit of movement towards your goal each day and before you know it, it will seem like the struggle was a million years ago.

The thing that keeps me going is that I am very competitive. I love to compete. I have had friends and family members tell me I was crazy for starting an offline business when I was in high school. I like my freedom. I did not want a boss or anybody else to dictate how I would live my life. Growing up poor in the projects also motivates me to this day. It was nice to prove all the naysayers wrong. I think it was Frank Sinatra who said the best revenge is massive Success!

Hi ryda, very deep and important post.

I think in marketing and in life sometimes we have to take a look at priorities. We already know what OUR priorities are. But once you start thinking about what is your prospective customers priorities that is when you succeed.

If I was just starting in marketing or starting all over again I would ask myself what is a persons most basic needs on the internet.

If they were in a supermarket buying only the basic items they needed...food, toilet paper, soap, deordorant ( I hope) toothpaste then that is what I am going to sell!

People need hosting....hosting pays you monthly...thats just like owning your own membership site...you get paid over and over off your initial efforts you did once.

People need graphics, domains, all that stuff. Piggy back on what is popular. When ebay got started and blew up and got so rich..so did the marketer who sold shipping supplies to sellers.

I remember reading about the 17 year old girl who started www.WhatEverLife.com she just created a free site to give out myspace templates for free. She is millionaire now.

That is how we need to be thinking at all times. Find out what people are doing and where they are doing it and help them do what they do!

Once you are helping people solve their problem or help them improve on what they are already doing somehow...you will notice your bank account fills up naturally.

well, my motivation is simple: my dream to have jeep one day

oboi2121

Hello Omari Taylor Here,

To be successful online you need a big "Why!" The reason you're doing what you're doing and will be able to press on through any obstacles.

What has kept me going until I starting making money online is my goal buy my dream home and car. An really once the ball starts rolling thing really start to happen. As long as you continue to stay consistent and persistent. One thing that people do is once they get some results they slow down or go on vacation. Don't do that. When you get results keep pushing and marketing even more.

Best Wishes to Everyone.
